@@kellyanne744 😂😭 you are right- I really am loud in some of my videos on here- obviously have not 100% figured out how to use the mic! 😂🫢

Im not getting mine till 28 weeks, it depends on your weight and a few other factors that could put you at a higher risk.

I have to disagree. Although my 16-month-old doesn't use thumps up, wait and the peace sign, he is able to do every other sign mentioned. In addition, he is able to use our own sign language for "come here", water, elephants, airplanes, and trains.

@@Atema-vf6cd Of course he is, if you drilled it into his head. You won't convince me that he just picked up the "I don't know" with a shrug or "wait" with a hand up naturally at 16 months. My baby does most of these too, but it's because she's been through early intervention and I'm being super vigilant, but most parents with healthy kids don't need to go through this and still have smart and socially healthy kids.

@@jfcdisguy You missed my point. I answered a slightly mean comment that claimed, only gifted 16-month-olds could do all those signs. I certainly not "drilled" him to do that. If one uses signs to a certain extent, the child will imitate some of it. Now that he's 18 months old, interests come into play too. If I show a new sign, do certain work or animal noise two or three times, he will imitate it immediately and uses it on his own the next time. (When he sees a bag of salt to scatter on ice, to give an example)

@@Atema-vf6cd They never said that you have to be gifted to do all these. Just that kids don't just pick up some of these naturally. Waving, finger pointing, nodding and shaking head sure, because everyone does it all the time, but "stinky" and "I don't know"? They only see it if you make an effort to drill it into their head. I get that you're trying to show off, but don't represent some of these as normal for all kids.

​​@@jfcdisguyThat's how I interpreted the last sentence. (Mensa kids...ready for college at 10)

@@mariansmith9685 it shouldn’t cause an oversupply and if you are dealing with oversupply there are many great ways to help manage it!

How do you manage it?!​@@PassableParent

@@davidtheis4065 there is not too much walking involved. It is a very large zoo and the tour guide wants to make sure you see everything so they will drive you from spot to spot and you get out and walk just to see some of the animals. We went with our baby so they also kept the walking more minimal for us. They will adjust the tour to whatever your needs / wants may be!

@@ltmltm4945 I don’t disagree with you on that! While it’s important to get a GD diagnosis it’s also equally important our health care system does better and offers Healthier options for mom & baby!

Thank you for watching- I hope you have an amazing time and your daughter loves it!!😊

I’m so sorry you feel this way! I hope you can give yourself some grace and kindness - none of us know what we don’t know! We are all learning & figuring this whole parenting thing out as we go! Now that you know it might not be positive for your son to have so much screen time - you can take action- that’s the best we all can hope to do as parents; especially when we learn something new ❤️ it will be hard at first for your son if he is used to screen time (being upset, yelling, expressing himself with big emotions is all normal response to his routine changing- allowing him a safe space to be able to express himself but staying firm in boundaries like “we can be upset but we don’t hit etc” or “I understand how frustrating and different it is not being able to watch __ right now, it’s ok to cry, I’m here, I love you let’s play with ___ instead” or “do you want to play ___ or ___?” ) Start by cutting back a little by little if doing an “all at once change” and cutting screen time all together seems to be too much for either of you! Just think the less screen time he gets in the daythe better. There will always be situations where maybe you or he are sick and it may feel needed. Some days as parents we are in survival mode and it can be a useful tool. We just have to try and stay mindful. It’s really about minimizing the amount of screen time. Coloring with him, talking to him, reading to him, playing with toys with him are all wonderful things to do but they require your time and attention and we all have different capacities for this for many reasons! I get it! Just try to do the best you can do each day- remind yourself/know that each day is a new day and a new opportunity to make a positive change or to try to do a little bit better than the day before. None of us have it all figured out and none of us are perfect. You are doing an amazing job!!!🫶

Also when I’m cooking I love to have my children participate or even play with the water in the kitchen sink to buy myself some time! We have a toddler stool that we love for this exact reason!

My baby girl as you heard from video did the same at 39 weeks- & I would go through it all over again and again to have her! Best of luck for your ECV procedure next week 🙏🏻🤞- sending you all the positive vibes!!! 💕 thank you for watching!

@@PassableParent thank you for your reply! :)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for being a valued viewer of Passable Parent. I completely agree that the role of fathers is essential and often overlooked in discussions about child development. Fathers have a significant impact, and it’s crucial to recognize their contributions. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I’ll be sure to create some father-specific videos with tips and insights in the near future. Thanks again for your support!

Lovevery does have some of their products in target stores now if that is helpful to you! I can totally understand the downside to the reoccurring expense of them and just how expensive everything has become in general! There are lots of similar items to the ones they have in toy kits that you may be able to find elsewhere for less money if you wanted to! I might even make videos showing some ideas I have for this 😊 hope this was helpful and it’s amazing to hear how well all your children are doing - each child is different and each of their developments are also unique 🤍

It was not too loud for our 9 month old! 😊

Hello- yes the AAP says any screen time including videos like you just mentioned count as screen time with the exception of FaceTime with family/friends! Simple black and white flash cards are recommended for newborns over videos! Like these: amzn.to/3NfvNc8 amzn.to/3wB8kvo Hope this helps 😊

Yes - for me it went away immediately post partum! I went through the period of “figuring breastfeeding out” with my new baby & getting into our own rhythm with it but the aversion was totally gone! I’m sorry you are having aversions I know how uncomfortable it is! Hang in there ❤️🫶 & best of luck with your new baby!

You do not have to fast! It is recommended not to eat anything too heavy 2 hours prior to the test though! 😊

Thank you for watching! 🤍😊

Thank you so much for watching! 🤍According to google it’s been around since way before the 90’s (1920’s I found 🤯) so totally makes sense- fellow 90’s baby! 🙋‍♀️😂

@@PassableParent Wait so child of the 90s too? Lol. Yup, mom tells me that back then there was only the purple desitin and i even remember seing a rogue tube under the bathroom cabbinet well into my childhood cause we used it for burns cuts heat rash etc. Its good for everything skin related! Heck even with my oldest LO thats already P-trained We struggle a bit sometimes with propper wiping and if we start seeing a bit red, its desitin to the rescue hahaha.

Maybe do the finger blood strip test? It’s what diabetics already do to see their blood sugar, it might help your diagnostic journey.

Thank you for sharing your experience! 🤍 I’m sorry it’s something you’ve also gone through!! Many times there can be an underlying cause like you mentioned.

Congratulations! That’s so exciting!! It’s definetly one of the most exciting appointments in pregnancy 😊best wishes & Good luck on your scan - thank you for taking the time to watch 🤍

Thank you for taking the time to watch & I agree something went weird here with the audio! 😅 I appreciate your feedback & taking the time to leave a comment!

Congratulations that’s so exciting!! I hope the scan went well 🙏🏻 thank you for watching and I wish you both the best of luck on your parenthood journey!

I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! It’s never too late to start cutting back on the screen time! I’m sure your baby is brilliant they are little sponges taking in everything and so eager to learn from us! Try starting little by little making small changes in cutting back the screen time & instead playing with him, talking to him, singing him songs and you should start to see him attempting to communicate more with you ❤️

It’s important that push walkers like everything else be used in moderation and in combination with other toys to promote proper development! Push walkers like the ones I talk about in this video can be very motivational and encourage the confidence needed to attempt walking! Thank you for watching!

There is no scientific evidence that music is harmful to babies other than if it is played too loudly or inappropriate for a young child! Music is great for babies especially children’s songs like “the itsy bitsy spider”, “wheels on the bus”, “head shoulder knees and toes” all of these types of songs you can sing with baby and do hand and body gestures to teach them new things! Thank you for watching 🤍

We have gone in June & in the winter before! The weather was nice both times! Hotter in June but they gave us lots of water and breaks in the AC! Enjoy your trip!

@@PassableParent thank you, we are planning on August, and cannot wait, I bet the zoo is nice in the evening
